| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayThis one was mildly clever and amusing. The sequel was utter crap. Tia Carerre is immaculate. |
| Screen It!Rory L. AronskyEverything wrapped within this film works... |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperEven at 95 minutes the film is often too slow and just not rewarding enough. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonThe movie Wayne's World is rarely uproarious. It's really a little sad. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonThough it appears to be a brain-dead comedy, it at least has a little something to say about American suburbia in the 1990s -- a specialty of director Penelope Spheeris. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDirector Penelope Spheeris, with her first major studio assignment (and eight-figure budget), delivers a colorful but uneventful picture. |
| sbs.isStefan Birgir StefanssonVery funny SNL spinoff. Don't miss the Bohemian Rhapsody scene |
| Filmcritic.comRachel GordonThe trick with Wayne's World that seems to cross age and gender in terms of enjoyment is that the characters are endearing. |

| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe movie wants to be a laffaminit extravaganza like the Zucker & Abrahams productions, but with slyer humor, more inside jokes, throwaway references and just plain goofiness, as when the characters occasionally break into their own language. |
